Advantages for the service provider Disadvantages for the service provider A service provider might not tolerate a person, which is different race, gender, religion, etc. This means, that a service provider will be unable to work with person like that. Also, if a service provider tells something wrong to the service user, the service provider might have problems with that, because racism is not acceptable anywhere. The person approach to care Advantages for the service user The advantage may be, that a service user can always use a health and social care services, when they have problem with their health. Disadvantage for the service user It can be that a service user may feel disappointed, because the service provider might not help them as
For example, one of the main constituents of a phobia is generally described as being where the ‘anxiety causes interference with the functioning of a normal life’, but what if different doctors had different ideas of what a normal life was? You would be classed as phobic by one and not by the other. Another main issue relating to the classification of phobias is the fact that an anxiety disorder may present differently in different cultures, so it is not universalisable. For example, in Japan people can get diagnosed with phobias of offending people through one’s own awkwardness, but in Western countries this doesn’t exist. This is probably because in Japan there
It also forgets to ingest that peoples needs and tastes have a tendency to change and therefore what works once or twice might not work a third or fourth time. Very often hypnotists work with groups of people who although may have a similar agenda e.g. to stop smoking they all have however differing needs, concerns and preferences to modalities. Therefore the fact that a personalised screed in this context would not surface adds further weight to the proposed charges. Finally A third negative aspect of the personalised screed as oppose to a generic format is the fact that the former is only designed to help one person while the latter can be used on a local, national and even global basis.
Prompt 1: “stereotypes exist because they are grounded in truth” With their limited knowledge, humans tend to make generalizations based on assumptions and simplified images, ignoring the complex and vital definition of a human being. Stereotyping is a reductionist approach which ignores diversity within different groups causing a behavior to be oversimplified. Instead of taking account of the holistic picture it focuses on what is making sense according to the society’s predefined norms than what is actually true. Stereotypes may refer to a specific sex, religion, race or country. Judging people without knowing them will lead us to make false assumptions, which is a dehumanizing act.
They found that there was a high inter-rater reliability which showed that the diagnosis of phobia is reliable. However they only looked at social phobias and didn’t consider any specific phobias therefore it cannot be generalised meaning that it is low in external validity. Also they only used interviews which means there are issues with self-report data. Social desirability bias could also occur as the participants may act in a certain way to make themselves look better even though it’s not necessarily their true behaviour. The other way of examining reliability is through test re-test, which is
This shows why some sociologists may not use questionnaires as with a low response rate they can lack generalizability. It is argued that a higher response rate can be obtained if follow up questionnaires are sent out, if they are collected by hand or even if they sent out by email. However these methods tend to be either more time consuming or more costly. As well as this a great danger with low response rates is the fact that those that are returned are usually from people that aren’t fully employed or an isolated group of society and therefore means it lacks representativeness. Another reason why sociologists may not want to use questionnaires is their inflexibility.
Able to collect data from a large number of respondents. | Respondents may not feel encouraged to provide accurate, honest answers. If respondents choose not to answer to a question and some do cooperate it may affect the data collected, the survey could then be bias. Some people may not answer the survey/questions as they feel it may present them in a way they may feel uncomfortable with. | Questionnaires | It is practical.
These matters tend to be when the issue is a life-threatening, life-limiting conditions, where the service user is experiencing pain and mental stress. When it comes to situations like these, a service user is less likely to want to talk about the issues at hand, forming a barrier to communication. This barrier is unhealthy for the service user as it can cause health problems and affect their wellbeing. | Strategies to overcome this barrier mean that the care practitioner should use the correct verbal and non-verbal communication skills, enabling a supportive and reassuring connection with the service user. Knowing and using the service users preferred communication methods could make them feel comfortable with talking to the care practitioner.
They may find it difficult to carry out physical tasks due to sensory loss. A person is unique and may have had different life experiences which means the way dementia affects them is personal to them. They have different likes/ dislikes and needs so we must try to meet these the best we can. 1.3 A person with dementia may feel excluded from society because the way they are treated by other's. They may not be given the opportunity to be involved just because other's haven't got the time of day for them.
Strength / Weakness - research that is in the form of naturally occurring phenomena (Roberts and Lamb) has good ecological validity but is not scientific or replicable as variables were not highly controlled and because it is not artificial. It would also be unethical to test eye witness testimony when a real sensitive subject is being discussed. Strength / Weakness - the results could be due to a number of factors such as: young people may be more used to memory tests or older adults have poorer health leading to memory impairment. Weakness - the research findings are inconclusive. Weakness - the factors given by researchers, such as the ones stated, are only assumptions with no scientific evidence.
